I was watching Morning Joe on MSNBC this week while huffing and puffing on my Nordic Trac and heard Tina Brown talk about an upcoming feature article in Newseek on America's "spending addiction" and our need, as individuals and as a nation, to make some changes. Click here for the article itself.
What caught my attention was her comment to the effect - I've not been able to locate the segment on video - that researchers are able to identify differences between "spending brains" and "saving brains" at the level of brain chemistry and synapses. There's more in the article, and I'll leave the policy implications to others, for now.
Since then, I've been pondering the prospect of potentially similar differences between a "grace brain" and a "works brain." The flights of fancy on this theme appear endless!
